Today I stumbled on a feature that saved me some headaches. When I accidentally did :'<,'>w instead of just :w Vim warned me that I was trying to write a partial file and asked for confirmation.
Awesome! I chose "no" and lost no work at all.
Is this prompt documented somewhere? It isn't at :help :w. Are there similar prompts for destructive actions I may not know about?
